The 2015 Cadillac Escalade – a sophisticated luxury SUV designed to establish new benchmarks for hand-tailored craftsmanship and technology– won the coveted title at the Middle East Car of the Year (MECOTY) Award

The 2015 Cadillac Escalade obtained the prestigious ‘Best Large Premium SUV’ honor at the Middle East Car of the Year (MECOTY) Award, which took place on 20 November at Dubai’s Meydan Beach Club, Jumeirah Beach Residence.

MECOTY’s jury panel was immediately impressed by the 2015 Cadillac Escalade’s precisely crafted interior, groundbreaking design and sophisticated new technology for safety and connectivity. While the Escalade is all new for 2015, its iconic character has been preserved through an evolution of design dating to the first generation vehicle, introduced in 1999. With a strong sense of presence and proportion, the next-generation Escalade modernizes many signature Cadillac elements, including a shield-shaped grille, the Galvano bright trim, and the LED vertical light signatures.​

The fourth-generation Escalade is an entirely new design yet instantly recognizable: much of the story of Cadillac’s redesigned flagship SUV is in the interior, where new levels of luxury combine with the latest technology.

“We are delighted to accept the ‘Best Large Premium SUV’ award from MECOTY,” said Nadim Ghrayeb, Regional Brand Manager for Cadillac. “Today, MECOTY serves as a powerful platform for the Middle East’s most respected motoring journalists to bring together their in-depth knowledge and fine-tuned expertise to select the industry’s best-in-class vehicles. We are proud that the 2015 Cadillac Escalade managed to set itself starkly apart from competition. The Escalade is, after all, the benchmark among luxury SUVs with a formula of bold design, powerful capability and luxurious accommodation.”

All nominated vehicles were test driven by the jurors to ensure precise scoring.
